(Best) KIO GUN MAY H?HL FIVE-TON Projectile - Wonderful Possibilities Claimed for New Gun. New York, July 9.-Scientists and inventors to-day discussed the re markable qualities of a new gun that Dr. Miller Heese Hutchison, former chief engineer for Thomas A. Edi son, claims may be developed to hurl u projectile of Ave tons from two hundred to three hundred miles. Its velocity, he declared, ranges from ono to five miles a second. Tho noise it made at a demonstration yester day sounded much like the click of a cash register. Though only a min iature weapon, with an eight-inch barrel was used, its projectile may be stopped by a shoot of steel with the precision of a trolley car. The gun is the invention of John Temple, an Englishman, who devel oped tho Idea in this country. The demonstration, held in tho presence of scientists and newspa per men, was, curiously enough, held in Dr. Hutchinson's office on the fif ty-first floor of tho Woolworth Build ing. The testing grounds consisted of a box of sand on the door of the oliice, over which was placed a sheet of steel three-quarters of an Inch in thickness. Pointing the gun down ward toward the fifty offices filled with people beneath him, Dr. Hutch inson discharged the weapon and tne cash register click was beard. In the sheet of sloel Hiere was lodged a projectile throe Inches long and a half inch in d?amete.'. Tho ends weie sticking out on either side of thc? steel. Dr. Hutchinson explained that the tail end of the projectile was thread ed and served the purpose of a boll. This feature, he declared, could he used In bolting a plate over a hole in the hull of a leaking ship at sea. The demonstration gun used by Dr. Hutchinson had a velocity of om; mile a second. He declared the high power rifles now In vogue obtain their velocity through the use of small projectiles, long barrels and about three times as much powder as is used in the new weapon. The principle of burning the powder, which does not permit waste, before the projcotile even starts to move, has been applied to the gun, Dr. Hutchinson explained. The elimina tion of a loud report, bo said, was obtained by confinement of the ex panding gas and to the chamber from which the projectile emanated. The weapon resembled the nozzle of a pneumatic hammer.

Kami Hand Who Killed Him Caught in Greenwood County. Greenwood, July 5.-Two hours after the fatal shooting of Dr. Law ton C. Lipscomb, prominent farmer and druggist of Ninety-Six, Pink Griffin, a negro farm band, was cap tured by a posse of citizens beaded by L. M. Lipscomb, a cousin of the dead man, brought to Greenwood, and turned over to tho county offi cers. The negro was spirited away from the Greenwood county jail for safe-keeping. Governor Cooper will bo asked to call a special term of court to try the negro. A full con fession was made hy Gr i flin to his captors. David Machen, another ne gro implicated, was also carried away for safe-keeping. Dr. Lipscomb was shot six times, three of the bullets taking effect In the region of the heart. Following a reprimand given Griffin for beating bis mule, Griffin followed from the barn lot and began firing when Dr. Lipscomb was a hort distance from his bouse. Apparently Dr. Lipscomb bad turned and made an effort to wrench the pistol from the negro's hand, powder burns and bullet wounds in the right band in dicating snell. He was dead when his wife readied him. Tho news of tho fatal shootng of Dr. Lipscomb quickly spread and fully 2.ono citi zens formed a posse and literally combed tho woods and swamps for miles around. The negro was cap tured on tho Seaboard railway, near Alexander's brick yard, about five miles from the scene of tho deed. Sheriff Cannon Please, of Newberry, was telephoned for, and with blood hounds responded at once. When tho negro was captured tho hounds woro not on Griffin's tracks. Members of Dr. Lipscomb's family urgod that tho law bo allowed to tako Its courso, and tho posse dispersed soon after tho negro was brought to Jail. Dr. Lipscomb is survived by his wife, who was Miss Salllo Cathcart, of Columbia; one slstor, Mrs. G. T. Calhoun, of Ninety-Six, and throe brothors, Geo. W. Lipscomb, E. P. Lipscomb and J. N.

Florence Potato Growers Realized i j and s om fly i>y Co-operation, Clemson Colloge, July 8. - Two tho una nd luir rois of Irish potatoes sold at %?> per barrel while the gen eral market on potatoes was $2 por barrel was the result of Organization and co-operation among Florence county farmers during the season just ended. This fine result was brought about through the Instru mentality of the 'Florence Chamber of Commerce and County Agent J. W. McLendon, and as a consequence the farmers working through tho or ganization made a profit of $6,000 above the market. To start at the beginning of this story, a contract was made, before the timo for marketing, with a buyer who was attracted to the Florence market again this year because of tho satisfactory way in which potatoes were handled on that market In 1920. Thon tho leadors In the Flor ence potnto organization put on a campaign for proper digging, grad ing, packing and shipping of tho crop. Instructions wore given by lot ter to all mouther growers and as sistance was given where needed. Potatoes wero required to bo ma chine graded, and growers who did not have enough potatoes to warrant buying graders individually were aided In securing graders Jointly. Strict grading was required, for tho market was falling, and on a falling market grading is doubly important. | Farmers who did not work through the organization received $2 per bar rel for their potatoes, thus paying a big penalty for their failure to real ize in time the value of organized ef fort.
